The Customer Business Challenges/Background Re-organization of facility – merging different assembly lines into one model-

independent assembly line Outsourcing major sub-assemblies and sequencing to a supplier ERP/SCM implementation to replace their existing production legacy system Traceability and defect data tracked on a sheet of paper with the vehicle. Disconnect between SAP ERP, SAP APO system and the shop floor.

The Customer Objective Replacing paper forms for tracking data. Full genealogy record against the VIN number to identify tracked components

to the vehicle. Automatic reporting point confirmations Defect closure enforcement. Real time enforcement of quality and assembly data entry. Detailed information about work done to the vehicle during assembly process Enforce in process holds for suspect vehicles.
